Aliases management setup

You can keep all your alias commands in your muttrc file, but maybe it's a good idea to keep them in a separate file. The $alias_file variable let you define this file. For example:

set alias_file=~/.mutt/alias_file # where I keep my aliases

In order to load them with auto-completion you need to source the file with:

source ~/.mutt/alias_file
